overcome and entirely eliminated by the marvelous healthfulness of 

 the Blackhawk and Abdallah blood. Lambert is believed to exhibit 

 no trace of these defects, and that makes him complete. ])aniel 

 Lambert is also a trotting stallion of great superiority. He was him- 

 self a good trotter, although trained but little. As a three-year-old 

 he trotted in 2:41. As a four-year-old he received a few mares, but 

 was not put into the stud until he was eight years old, and his colts- 

 from his early service commenced displaying such superiority as to 

 call for his services, and demonstrate that he was to assume the posi- 

 tion of one of the greatest stallions this country has produced. Of 

 the small number gotten before he was five years old, one was Abra- 

 ham, that now appears also to be a stallion of great excellence; 

 Jubilee Lambert, record of 2:25; Nonesuch, 2:25; and Col. Moulton, 

 2:28^ — the two latter full trotters; and Fanny Lambert, 2:32, in a two- 

 mile race. The early promise of the above colts fixed the popular 

 estimate on the value of Daniel Lambert as a sire. His greatest trot- 

 ter yet produced is Comee, record of 2:19:|^, and «eventy-one heats in 

 2:30 or better. I append a list showing the status of his family at 

 present:

His son Aristos is also a very well bred horse and a great trotter^ 

 having, in his first season on the track as a six-year-old, made a 

 record of 2:27^^, and never lost a heat.
